Kansas Letter.
WAKEFIELD, Kan, Nov. IA,

WAKEFIELD, Kan, Nov. IA, 81.
| Editors NeoUs and Citizen:
AS my last letter had got rather an
Gent before your readers saw it, l
| will try and start another one that
will contain fresh news. We are get
ting very fine weather here now. The
nights are rather cool, but the days
are as nice and warm as in Vermont
in September. Most of the farmers
have commenced feeding their stock,
though some make them pick their
own living on oat stubble. What corn
there is is being husked, but that is
very little, though there are some
good fields, but the majority of the
corn is a grand fizzle. Oats are about
all threshed and-turned out from 10 to
80 bushels to the acre of good heavy
oats. Corn is now selling for SO to
AZ cents per bushel; oats 25 cents !;
potatoes 80 cents hogs 81 per cwt. {;
fat cattle are now worth 1-2 cents
per pound, and the prospect is that
they will be higher before spring. The
demand for corn seema to jbe local,
and as the farmers will not buy only
when actually obliged to, don't think
corn will advance much in price, un-
less it is during planting time in the
spring. The emigrant wagon, or
prairie schooner" is a familiar OBJ
ject now; all going east for the win
ter, the family living in their wagon
all the time during the journey. One
Of the emigrants stopped in our yard
last night, on his way from Ottawa
county to his old home in Ohio. He
said he had been out there four years
and had been getting poorer every
year, and thought if he waited anoth-
err year he would not be able to get
back at all. He did not seem to have a
very high opinion of Kansas agricul-
ture as a means of getting liveli-
hood. He said a very large acreage
of wheat had been put in out in Otta-
wa county and that the chinch-bugs
were working in it now and killing a
great deal of it. Not fattering pros
pect for the wheat crop another year.
Our new school-house in Wakefield
is nearing completion, it now being
ready for the plasterers, and will be
an ornament to our city. The sports
mans gun is heard, breaking the still
ness of the morning air, and the prai-
RE chicken, duck, goose and quail are
made to suffer. This is quite sport
ing community, as the greater part of
the people are English and love their
sport as we'll as ever. The railroad
is being pushed rapidly, the cars now
running into Manhattan and The track
is laid some distance west of there.
The depots along the line are nearly
all completed. We shall soon hear
the screach of the locomotive.
81 Our county elections passed very
quietly. We elected lady Register,
and Mr.. George Fullington, a Cam
bridge, VI. Yankee, was elected to tie
office of Treasurer without opposition,
and when you take into consideration
the salary of the Office $4,000 per
annum) you can judge of the popular
ity Of Vermont Yankees in Kansas.
Old Vermont don't get left very far
behind, wherever she finds herself.

MAKE YOUR PULLETs LAY.-Twe 0l
three weeks of jadicious management
now to assist the pullets in forming their
first crop of eggs, so to speak, will make
vast difference in the product of eggs
during the next four months, when fresh
eggs will retail in Boston or New York
markets for from 30 to so cents per doz.

able, as young pullets which do not be-
gin to lay by December, will not, in nine

OBITUARY..

On the 25th of August, Mrs. Chas.
Palmer, of this city, passed to her
final rest. Her demise bereaves many
near relatives, and leaves sadness and
sorrow in the hearts of all who knew
her, and she was gidely known. For
nearly fifty years Charles Palmer and
his wife have been particularly known
to the people of Plymouth, and all
through this and LaPorte counties
having resided here permanently since
1S41, and as people of the best class
in all relations. Mrs. Palmer was
one of those firm, reliable and duty
loving women our best writers delight
to characterize, and that leave pleas
ant memories with US, whether we
know them or only read about them.
Mrs. Palmer's maiden name was Bet
sey Maria Walbridge. She was born
in Cambridge, VT, Sept. p, 1918.
She lost her mother when she was only
two years old. She came to Indiana
in 1888 and was married to Charles
Palmer in LaPorte county. Sept. 8,
1910. In 1841 they came to Mar
shall county, and have resided here
ever since, Mr.. Palmer being engaged
in mercantile business. They had
two sons and two daughters, married,
and several grandchildren. For many
years Mr.. P. occupied large resi-
dence on the western limits of the city.
Here the children and grandchildren,
and friends and acquaintance have
had the luxury of home and hospi-
tality such as only a mother and a
friend like Mrs. Palmer could bestow.
The funeral service was conducted
by Elder S. A Chaplin, and the at
tendance was the largest that was ever
known in Plymouth. Her two sons
and sons -in-law were the pall-beafers.
The profound respect in which MIR.
Palmer and his wife were held was
evidenced by the large attendance and
universal expression of sorrow.
One by one the pioneers enter the
shadows bordering the unknown, and
the few remaining reach out for each
Others hands and draw closer togeth-
er, to keep united the shortening chain
of old acquaintance. They feel al
most strangers as they try to compre-
bend the changes that have come, and
look upon the new and unknown faces
that have gathered around them.
When one disappears who was like
Mrs. Palmer, has been strong and
faithful, has known her place and her
duty to family and friends, her neigh
Dor and her God, and has moved
straight forward in the performance of
that duty, leaving with all sense and
feeling of the best in life-dignity
with kindness, mirth with decorum,
usefulness with rational pleasure, re-
ligion without pretense, courage with
out boasting, and firmness with love,
it leaves an aching void, and we may
we'll pause to recall her virtues and
give the tribute of silent tear. A
life of usefulness has ended. Influ-
ences for good that have gone abroad
with the years live on and will not
end. To make such a record is worth
living for, and helps us to believe that
in the Supreme Economy there is
reward infinitely greater than the hap
piness that attends US here in the con-
seriousness of duty done, and that our
friends have gone to receive that re-
ward.-Ptymouth lind Republican.
